Indian Coast Guard has rescued 11 crew on board an Indian fishing boat in the Arabian Sea close to Exclusive Economic Zone Lakshadweep Island. The boat had suffered engine failure and was practically 280 nautical miles away from west of Minicoy Island and when the misery sign was acquired, officers stated. The ICG instantly rushed into motion upon receiving the misery name and activated a high-priority rescue operation. A extremely superior ship with a talented group was dispatched to the world on February 7, officers stated.
“Recognizing the potential magnitude of the disaster, the Indian Coast Guard got activated to safeguard the Ship so as to protect the fragile ecosystem and save the Fishing Boat,” the ICG officers stated.
“On February 8, the Indian Coast Guard team took the Fishing Boat under tow to safely bring it to Minicoy, thereby executing a seamless rescue operation. The crew members onboard the IFB King are safe and sound,” they added.
